What I’m Playing Today: ‘Anna’

Anna

It’s a dreary, driz­zly Sat­ur­day after­noon. Per­fect for set­tling in with a cup of tea and a new hor­ror game.

Anna is a point-and-click adventure/horror indie game from Dream­painters stu­dio that was recently released for PC via Desura, and will soon be com­ing to Steam.

Ital­ian indie game ensem­ble Dream­painters may just be onto some­thing. Anna, their forth­com­ing hor­ror adven­ture game, you see, is one of the rare point-and-click, puzzle-‘em’-up offer­ings that attempt to actu­ally scare the player and, hope­fully, a game that will stand on the shoul­ders of such sub-genre giants as Scratches and Amne­sia and man­age to pull off some­thing new and inter­est­ing.

All any­one has to do to get me to be inter­ested in a game is to com­pare it to Scratches or Amne­sia,  two of my favorites.

Let’s DO this.
